July 21, 2019: It has come to my attention today that there are TH-cam Channels, throughout TH-cam, that are plagiarizing my Litter Box System, stating it is their system that they developed. I developed this system back in 2012 and featured it on my Cattery's website under the Toxic Litter page on January 20, 2013 www.victoriangardenscattery.co.... My Toxic Litter page is copyright protected. These various TH-cam Channels are plagiarizing my intellectual property for their financial gain.
July 21, 2019: QUESTIONS - Please read the comments first before asking a question. I have had to answer the same questions multiple times. I don't want to have to turn off the comments since they are a huge help to others.
To purchase our litter box system, please see the links below. When you buy from our Amazon links, there is no additional costs to you. We get a very small commission back from Amazon, if you buy through our Cattery's links. This allows us to get more toys and supplies for our kittens and cats. Thanks.

**Tips for Transitioning a Cat to this pelleted pine litter:
1) In the comment section of this video, there are a lot of helpful suggestions to get your cats to transition over. Try to read other posters comments on how they successfully transitioned their cats over to it.
2) You may need to contain your cats/kittens in a small room while you a transitioning them over to the pellets or contain the cat that is having a hard time transitioning over
3) Put some of their stools in the pelleted litter.
4) Get some Dr. Elsey's Litter Attractant to sprinkle on the pellets. It is in a sprinkler canister that you can find at most Pet Store. Here is our link to buy it: amzn.to/2Kqsgbs
5) Start adding in the pellets to their old litter so they get use to the feeling of the pellets on their paws.
6) Slowly stop cleaning their old boxes.
7) Once they start using the pellets, you can remove their old boxes slowly.
8) Be patient. Cats are just like humans, they do not like change.

I’m a 33 year old germaphobe who’s never had a cat. I was super nervous about finding a sanitary and convenient litter solution. After hours of research, your video made up my mind. I’ll be adopting a cat later this week, and look forward to using this method. That you for sharing!
Awww did you adopt a cat? If so, how old is it and did you start using that litter system?
I wanted to add tht i used to use this system but i stopped because i found the dust in random places in my house.
I love this very informative and helpful video! I went online purchased/picked up everything yesterday and today is set-up day for my pine pellets litter transition. Any recommendations on how to stop my cat from waking me up at 4AM since keeping her awake all day is not an option? 🙄😸
As someone with OCD. I recommend you foster to adopt. That way you can see if it's for you or not. I wish I would have done that. I know now that I need a cat that doesn't shed a lot and who is more independent.
@@alyahamzah1952 Tracked all over by the cat's paws, or airborne dust?
I contacted Tractor Supply customer service and inquired about the pine bedding pellets being kiln dried. They verified that it indeed was and is being used at several of the animal shelters locally for cats with great results.
The bag even has a picture of multiple animals: horse, rabbit, and cat.
Do you happen to have their contact? Wonder if they do shipout to other countries?
I think shelter people used it exclusively for kittens, because the clumping clay have a tendency to clump to the mouth of curious kittens that don't know any better at that age.
@@chufred8970 you just need to go to a local equine ‘horse’ supply store …anywhere the supply for farm animals will have it. It’s quite heavy so shipping to another country would be expensive
I was buying Tractor Trailer pellets but they have changed the pellets from the white pine to a darker and harder pellets. Now my cats won’t use the pellets anymore. I wonder why Tractor Trailer changed the pine pellets? Where can I get the white or lighter colored pellets that Tractor Trailer used to sale? Can anybody help me find them?
For Breeze XL litter box owners, Kristi Powell commented that Home Depot has the bottom tray that will fit this. Its called a Small Mixing Tub. Its 28 in. D x 20 in. W x 6 in and she states it works perfectly :) Note in her comment she stated that it was called a Medium Mixing ub but its actually labeled as a Small Mixing Tub Thank you Kristi for sharing this. I went and got the pan and shes right; it works perfectly !!
Thank you for this information! Was definitely looking into the XL since I have 3 cats. They won't use multiple boxes. They will all use the same one haha
For what it's worth my home Depot/online has two labeled as medium mixing tub and only one of them are the dimensions you stated. (27.5x20x6)
I was able to find it based off your recommendation though and I'm pulling the trigger, so thank you!
I found the same to be true about the two medium mixing trays at Home Depot on line. I bought the one with the suggested dimensions and it works perfectly.
Which one works for the hooded version?
Thank you so so much!!
I know this was 6 years ago but I seriously wish I could pay you for making this video! You have saved me so much money and time. The clay litter was driving me crazy 😩😩 it was expensive, dusty, and smelled so bad like ammonia. This system has saved my relationship with my rescue cat. So much easier and better. I used to dread sifting the clay box but I don’t even blink an eye getting the solids out immediately and then just sifting the sawdust through. I don’t have this long dreaded task at night. The cat poop smell isn’t pleasant but once it’s scooped out the smell is gone. You smell nothing afterwards. No ammonia nasty smells. Plus I love that he isn’t having to walk on his poop or pee and then walk on my surfaces. Thank you, thank you! 😌😌😌
Thank you. I am so glad you are happy with the system I developed. Best way to help is to use our Amazon Affiliate links that are listed in most of our kitty videos.

Hi I am commenting on your reply because its the most recent lol. I was wondering if you knew if this would be okay with more runny cat poo? My cat has ibs and usually has more runny poops. Thank you!!
This is perhaps the most detailed and informative video about cat litter ever - I also found it quite relaxing to watch because you were explaining everything so carefully 🙂
It's like hearing an economic angel who manages our economy 😂
I second that!
Hello there 👋🏻🐈
Which one are you using?
Where I can buy it ?
Pine free ?
Thank you for your answer 😇🙏🏻
Fantastic video.
I use Feline Pine.
This method saved me 200 dollars a year! We all have to realize that this lady deserves all the credit. Many other people make videos with the same litter system.
Thank you. :)
I just wonder that does it absorb the smell?
To Mr. Tech, it really does eliminate all smells. I have been using wood pellets for years now. Ever since I switched over from regular litter to this type of litter I have had people tell me they can’t believe I even had cats because they never smell anything when they come over. But I always remove the feces and spray right away when they go too so it never stinks up my house. I haven’t used regular litter ever since.

@@TomTom-fn3es you can buy it from pet stores or farm supply stores are even cheaper! Remember: kiln dry pine 🌲 💰
The entire video I kept saying to myself “she’s a genius!” What a perfect, and incredibly economical system. I am heading out to buy the supplies today. Thank you SO much for taking the time to invent this system and to share it with all of us. Based on the comments I can tell you’ve made A LOT of cat and cat owners lives better. Wishing you and your little kitties all the best!
I wonder if instead of puppy pad use a trash bag
This is THE best thing I’ve learned on TH-cam. I’ve saved so much money and no more litter tracked around the house! Honestly, I think about you with gratitude every time I buy my bags of pine pellets-many thanks!
Great to hear!
I watched this video over 6 months ago when I purchased my kitten Willow. This has been the cleanest method. I am an over the road truck driver who got my cat for company because cats are generally cleaner than dogs and I needed a companion. But I was worried about having a smelly gross truck with a litter box. This method has allowed me to comfortably have my cat on my truck and I get asked all the time how I keep my truck so clean and free of odor with a litter box. My truck stays clean and smells lovely and I’m still on the first bag I bought over 6 months ago. It’s cheap and it last. Thanks...!=)
Is your car used to being in a vehicle? I heard cats don't like car rides lol
Hello there 👋🏻🐈

Love your story 😻
Does your cat seem to like being in the truck ?
He said he’s had the cat since it was a kitten, so it’s grown up on the road. What sights that cat has seen! Hope he harnessed trained it.
I switched to pine pellets recently and two things struck me. One, no clay litter particles everywhere, even in my bed. Ugh.
Second, the boxes have no pee smell. The sawdust smells like--sawdust! You were the one who inspired me to make a change for the better for my two kittens and for the cleanliness of my home. Cheers.
Hi Linda did you have to gradually switch or just do it and the cats adjusted.
@@kimrobinson3752 im taking this off of what others say, but most gradually switched over rather than doing it all at once! what did you end up doing?
Just a question, would this be quieter than Tidy Cats? My tuxedo won't use the new system because it is too loud and I absolutely hate the clumping clay litter 😣
How is the poop smell with this system? My cats often poop in the morning right as I’m walking out the door to work, so worried about the smell when leaving the poop to scoop when I get home.
@@louisavikner8844 If your cats poop really smells try giving better quality cat food. It really helps. I buy Farmina Cat food.
awesome video! we used your idea and got the exact litter box and litter pan. one thing we found to be easier is placing a litter box liner (basically a wide trash bag) instead of the puppy pad. that way, once the tray is ready to be thrown out, you can just remove the top of the litter box, tie up the litter box liner and throw it in the trash. thanks!
awesome idea. i work with rescue♥️thus will all be a GREAT. time saver and healthier for ALL OF YS♥️♥️♥️
You don't have any issues with non-absorbed urine going through to the plastic liner bag?
Maybe put the doggie pad between the sifter and the plastic liner bag?
Thanks for all the great advice! This is 5 years ago, so I checked the TSC price on the pellets: currently $7.49. Still a real bargain!
Your welcome.
I think it may depend on where you are located. The 40 lb bags are currently $5.99 at my local store in Fl.
This litter can also be composted, no more plastic bags in the landfill
Isn't cat pee too strong and acidic to compost? Everytime my cat goes on my plants, they die 😅
Even with the urine and feces? I'm really wanting to reduce the waste my household produces, and my fur babies are the source of A LOT currently, with regular clumping litter, etc. Thanks!
Cat/dog feces and urine can be composted, but that compost shouldn't be used for vegetables for human consumption. Using the compost for flower beds would be great.
Cynthia Bakke there are no faeces. Watch the video. You scoop them.
@@abbyhagan3099 cool!
Thank you, ma’am. I’m sorry people are making a profit out of you. You shared this information to help other cat owners and we couldn’t ask for anything more.
You have literally changed our lives with this video and due to the amount of money we have saved on litter over the last few years we have been able to help more homeless kitties and tiny kittens 😻 Thank you!
Awesome! :)
I’ve been using this method for about 4 years now. I absolutely love it. I’m disabled and it is the easiest, no odor system and I have literally tried them all. I use the plastic bag litter pan liners instead of pee pads, because it is easier for me to get out because I can only use one hand. I also put a litter genie next to it to put the poop into after I scooped it. The price is beyond cheap compared to any other litter. It’s also easier to clean up if your cat knocks some on the floor and it doesn’t track all over the house like other litters. My cat thinks she has to dig to China when covering her poop, and even though she does knock some out, it’s easier to clean. I had to remove the sides of my breeze system because my cat is 14 years old and has trouble stepping over into the box, so it’s a little easier for her to knock some of the pellets out.
I am so glad my litter system is working for you and your kitty.
There's so many fluff balls in this video 😍
Kenzie so cute 😍
@@mr.blackhawk142 Hello Mr. Blackhawk. I would like to talk to you regarding the food you feed to your cats. I am really, really interested. I don't want to use any slaughterhouse food for my cats either. How can I message you privately? Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for making my life so easy!💕❤
Right?? They’re unbelievably fluffy 😍🥰
This is still the best youtube video I've ever watched. This literally changed my cat-owning life!!
So glad to hear that. I am glad it was so helpful. Thank you for the kind comment.
Me too!!!! I love this system 😍🥰
Same...I still follow her method💯
@Nova Strong
Sounds like the urine is absorbed in to the pine.
I’ve only been using this for a couple of weeks but I’m LOVING the way my house smells now! Once my cat developed diabetes, regular litters were not retaining the smell like it did before. I tried gel, crystal, and clay litters and they were NASTY! But I had a friend send me this video and I decided to give it a try. I have three cats, so I got two regular and one hooded breeze system (old cat prefers the hood) so it was a little expensive to get it started up. It took them about a week for me to transition them from the old system to a new system, but they use it like champs now! Now I only ever have to buy a cheap bag of pine litter pellets and puppy pads! I haven’t worked out how long it will take to go through my supplies but it will probably be at least two months before I need to buy another bag of pellets ($15) and puppy pads ($20-$30). I’m praying that this system continues to work because this is going to save so much money for us in the long run!! Thank you so much for sharing this information!!! 😊❤
We've been using this system for a few months now, and I just wanted to come back to express a big THANK YOU. This has been such a blessing and money-saver for our family, and I really appreciate you taking the time to share it with us!
great idea! You should make your own litter box and sell it! and your kitty babies are just adorable in the background. Thanks for making this video!
What a great idea!!!
Tractor Supply Pine Pellets (SKU#2181006) are on sale 2 for $10 from July 10-14th. These are the 40 lb bags.
Thank you for letting everyone know.
@@weloveourkittens As long as someone completes their order on-line by July 14th, they can take advantage of the sale, and they then have up to 6 days to pick up their order.
Thank u I'm two days late but I'll make it happen
Thanks. My husband got this deal today.
Its a shame I'm late to this video. I couldn't find them so I bought the feline pine
This system looks amazing! I am currently spending about $40 a month on litter for my cats, and aside from the price there are drawbacks with every type of litter we have tried. I am going to try this setup bc it looks more natural, easier and far less expensive in the long run! Genius, thank you for sharing this
I’m overhauling all of my litter boxes for my 4 cats. This is genius. Thank you!
I just want to say again that this is the most amazing thing I have found on TH-cam. I now swear by this and I am showing a lot of other cat owners! A few tips I’ve learned is if you help shake it or move the dust along every day it helps keep it even. Also when you shake it the poop comes to the top so it’s easy to find. I also adopted putting some plain baking soda on top to mask the pine scent. Thank you so much for the most wonderful idea and for helping me save lots of money and keeping my cats happy and healthy! ❤️❤️
Hi so is there a pine scent? How strong? Will the house smell like pine? What about in the summer. Does the heat make the pine smell even stronger? Also, can you attest that there is absolutely NO urine or ammonia smell with the sawdust? Some people say there's no smell, while others say "the smell is greatly reduced" from whatever they were using before. Which is it? I want ZERO smell, like I have with my grass seed litter. Thanks
Be careful with baking soda. I used this for two weeks and my cat developed asthma from it. So I decided to stop using it and she got healed right after that.
@@CindymeCindy There is ZERO smell. Even immediately after a cat poops, as long as he buries it, the smell disappears immediately.
Cindy There’s no smell. I find myself thinking the sawdust ( actually soaked of urine) is clean because the smell is so nonexistent!
@@MsBiz888 Did your cat get asthma from the pine pellets or the baking soda?
Just saved an abandoned kitten 3 days ago. Doing all my research and I found this. Just want say a big thank you 😘
Awesome!! You're such a lovely person
Nice good luck Sweety...👍🏼
Thank you for being humane to abandoned cats! My wonderful husband and I currently have the luxury of caring for EIGHT formerly abandoned, neglected cats, who are now in their FOREVER home.
Deborah Raposo how is he /she
I recently implemented this with my finicky 14yo calico and our new addition that used to wander our neighborhood. Both took 2-3 days to acclimate but it was seamless. A little of their old box poopadoops in the new box and bam. No more litter dust in their little lungs and so much easier for us to manage. The pine pellets from TS do great at keeping a fresh scent and we don’t have litter granules everywhere anymore. I have peace of mind about their health with the bonus of cost savings. Thank you for this!
This is the best most economical time efficient litter box system ever. I've bred persian cats for about 20 years. I've tried Electronic and other types of boxes, but this is the best of all. It keeps the oder down better than anything else I've tried. 😂Thanks for sharing. Breeze boxes are a little pricey but worth every penny. Since you're adding the extra litter pan on the bottom, you won't need the slide out tray that comes with the Breeze box. You can use the tray for serving food or drinks so nothing is wasted. I've used other sifting litter boxes besides the Breeze box that are not as expensive . You can cut pcv plastic pipe material in 4 pieces about 2" high and place them at the 4 corners of the bottom tray underneath the pee pad to you leave space between the pad and the sifting tray.
I bought this entire system as recommended here for daughter's family cat. They were using Feline Pine with a regular litter box and plastic liner for their older, finicky cat, Gus. The entire family loves this new system. Gus likes it, too. The hard part for us is we are 40 minutes from the closest Tractor Supply, but since this new system wastes no litter, we can deal with the drive when need be, which isn't frequently. Thanks so much for posting this!
And I am half way around the world from Tractor Supply and I can't find any store that sells kiln dried pellets here.
@@ashraf5003 I’m not sure which pads to use since we don’t have sams club in Canada
@@cheerio4000 I am Canada too but couldn't find the right size pads so I am using cat liners for now.
My grandmother has 8 cats and I helped her to transition to these litter boxes, she loves it and has been telling everyone she meets that has cats about this system! Thank you much!
How many boxes did you need for 8 cats?
@@pattihenry7111 According to some sources, should be 1 litter box per cat
I have been doing this exact process for my adopted senior applehead per your instructions for years now. We are very pleased. The process is easy and very affordable as well as healthy. Our home is odor free. You wouldn't know we have a cat...except she loves a warm lap to curl up in.
We took your advice and started using this system about a year and a half ago, and it's amazing!! We can't thank you enough for making this video!! Plus that little back kitten around the first minute of your video is sooo cute
You are more than welcome.
Thank you for posting this. I spend between $15-$25 a month on litter so this is going to be helpful.
I have been using your system for about 2 months now; I am so happy with how well this works. There are so many benefits from using this system. Save money, less mess, clean and easy, safe. I have 3 cats in total, and 2 of those do not cover when using the litter box; which comes as a benefit because I can easily remove and toss their 'business'. The air is cleaner in my bathroom, the floor is cleaner and less strewn with tiny litter, and cleanup is fast and easy! I bought one system to try and have since setup the second, and we are about to setup a third. I can not fully express how grateful I am for your video, you've changed our lives.
I set out to find something better after losing 2 cats to cancer, approximately 2 weeks apart from one another. It was heartbreaking to think that their suffering and our loss may have been due to hard clumping litter I had been using for years. Now, I am sharing your video with everyone I know, and calling all my cat servant friends to make the change too. Also, I shouldn't really tout something I can't prove, but I swear to you, the very air is cleaner after changing to the pine pellets.
If you are someone who is watching and thinking of trying it.. do!!!!
Kilmichael was it hard to find the pellets at tractor supply that was kiln dried?
I have question why would you leave the bottom of the breeze system on? It looks like that is what she is doing am I right or did she remove the bottom and I did not see it?
How did you transition your cats to this new system. Our cat is not using this new system :(
Aisha Masood I saw a different video of someone just using the pellets in a box. He suggested that some quit too easily and to stick with it. I’m just starting out but I have my two cats blocked off in my bedroom and bath so if the refuse to use it at least I don’t have to search everywhere for the mess. He also suggested tough love and didn’t try to transition. I think my own mindset was holding me back because I’ve had pellets in the closet for weeks. The encouragement to go for it helped. I’m going to do it, for them and me, and figure they will be okay with it, soon I hope. One of my cats is really particular and hates change but I’m determined to see it through for everyone’s health. Keep trying.
Seems like a lot of urine goes down into the puppt pad then I'm changing what seems like a lot of urine. Does this happen for you?
This video and tutorial are LIFE-CHANGING. Absolutely switching my three kitties over to this new system (because I, too, have been concerned about GMO corn-based litters). Thank you for taking the time to put this information out there! :)
Hi! How did it go? I'm wanting to switch my cats over to this but I'm worried they'll reject the pine pellets.
This is one of the most informative cat litter videos on TH-cam that I’ve seen. I’ve done research myself and everything she says in this video is exactly in line with what I have learned.
Thank you so much for posting this video, its reassuring to hear someone who knows what they’re talking about!
I have been using your system for over a year now and will never go back!
I can't wait to try this! How loud is this litter compared to the breeze pellets?
Love this video. I'm transitioning my 9yo tortie munchkin to the pellets. OMG, she is doing wonderfully. I left a little clean/used litter in the box and put the pellets on top of that and she took to it like a duck to water! LOL. I live in a 1 bedroom apt and the box is set up in the bathroom. The "old" litter would smell after just a few uses, but with the pellets there us no smell and a lot less litter tracking on my floor. I wish I had started this system earlier. Thank you so much. I can't believe the $$$ I wasted on conventional litter. 40lbs of pellets for $5.00 will last forever.
Again thank you and great instructional video.
I am so glad I found this video! My cats are 13 & 19 years old so hopefully they will gradually make the transition. I spend about $60 a month on litter. Thank you so much! You're a genius!
Make sure to read my Transition Tips located in the Description Section under the video. Good luck with the transition. Take it slowly for success.
The FLOOF in this vid is off the charts!! ❤
SO COMPLETELY HAPPY I CAME ACROSS THIS!
We have 12 rescues at the moment!
i wood place a one inch wood chopping block in the front and this will work as a step for them. I would also forgo the puppy pad (very bad for the environment and an added expense) and just buy two of the large bottom pans. I would use a clean one and throw the saw dust in my garden and hose of the pan. Let it dry and keep it ready for when I have to change the bottom pan. The saw dust placed in the yard or garden helps keep snakes away. Snakes detest the smell of cat urine and snakes 🐍 will stay away. Having two bottom pans. One being used and one being cleaned, dried and ready for when switching is needed-is the most environmentally friendly method.
Hope the snake comment is true because I would love that!
I think you still need a puppy pad to absorb the urine instead of having it slosh around freely in the pan. As well, staying in a pure liquid form like that would only enhance the odor.
Mike G
@@mikeg3578 the sawdust created by the pellets absorb the urine.... the sawdust is going to be damp. but there shouldnt be any free flowing liquid in your bottom pan.... i have never used this but i have had horses my whole life.... trust me when a horse goes pee.... its sometimes a gallon or more at a time. sawdust keeps the urine soaked up.
@@weloveourkittens Yes, there are several pesky rodents that detest the smell of cat urine and will stay away if marked areas.
This is a perfect system. No mess, no lingering litter box odors. Cost saving! Thank you, so much, for sharing. 😺
I can't believe I haven't found your video before, this is absolute genius!! Thank you so so much for taking the time and effort to share what you have learned, my cats and I will be forever thankful!
I’ve had cats all my life and this is the best system I’ve ever used.
Tiffany Schimmel Did you try it with the horse bedding as descibed?
Vicki Hollaway I do! And works perfect!!
*Oh my gosh! So glad to have found this. I have 15 cats.*
sweetirisfarm I have ten :)
😳😷🤧 I’m sniffly, wheezy, sneezy and itchy enough with the two I have. I couldn’t imagine 15.
i love cat people :) i have 1 her name is oreo we are awesome
I have 13
I only have two, who are litter mates. Keys and Sandwich.
You explained everything so thoroughly and carefully and made sure to describe which products you use. I really appreciate how informative the video was!!!
So grateful for your videos. It is by far the best litter box system I have ever used and will never look back after implementing it for the past 3+ years or more. I love it so much that I continually send your video to other cat owners, including two clerks from the Tractor Supply store where I purchased the pellets. They were curious about customers buying pellets for their cat boxes. So Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for sharing your system. My husband found a feral kitten at his work, looks like about 5 weeks old. I've been checking out cat care videos and I think your system looks great.
I want to get a cat for companionship. Im all alone. But I did not want the smell in my house or the headache of cat litter! Your video has given me hope and encouraged me that all will be just fine. Now, I just have to find a local shelter! Wish me luck! 💗👍
😃🙏🏻😇
The Breeze litter boxes are on sale on amazon rn and I found a review directing people to this video. Thank you for all the tips! Will definitely be using them as the only reason I bought this system was for pine litter lol
Thanks for the heads up on the Breeze box sale on Amazon. The links are in the Description Box below the video, as always.
I can’t thank you enough for this video! I’ve tried different litters and systems and I was so frustrated with litter tracking outside the box and constantly sweeping several times a day because I don’t like a mess. I used the newest breeze box with the hinged hood. Everything else was exactly as she suggested in the video. A week before I completely switched I put the new system next to the old one so she could get used to it. Then I added some pine pellets to her old box because they definitely feel different than the old clay litter. I didn’t add new clay litter when I cleaned the old box. When there was only about half the litter left I completely pitched the old one and put the new one in its place. It was stressful at first wondering if she would use it. I feared an accident. But it worked! I’m so impressed by how well it works! Just like you said! I have one of those litter mats that I kept when I used the clay litter. I put it right outside the doorway of the new breeze box. I also used the tiny pee pads that came with it slid it in the opening of the mat, because I was afraid she’d pee outside the box since she’s a bigger cat and the box seems smaller Than the old one.
I repurposed the tray that came with it for crafting/ painting with my daughter.
I can’t say enough about this!! No mess, no smell, less money spent. It’s a winner! Thank you again!!!
Thank you for helping so many people with their cat litter issues. You are a Godsend❤
Wow, I've been using pellets (I used the pine pellets before I came across your video), but it was a chore to filter out the sawdust, and I sometimes ended up throwing out a lot of unused pellets, because it was easier. I was also ordering mine from Amazon (the cheapest I could find) at $30-$40, but I did a search for hardwood pellets and found a $40-lb bag for under $6.
I set up the system (I also placed the cover of the dome litter box I threw out yesterday, because my cat's only a prude when it's time to use the litter box), and she took to it immediately. I checked it this evening, and I only had to scoop out the solid waste (and thank you for the litter scoop recommendation, as well) and then shake the box to evenly distribute the sawdust. No wasted pellets, and no wet mess inside the litter box.
Thank you so much, this is genius!
Thanks for the great info! I've got 4 cats and even with that many, the cost of conventional litter is astronomical. I will be setting up this method to try it right away! Also, watching your kittens and cats in the background was really sweet!
Glad it was helpful!
@12:15 THIS WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST tutorial on kitty litter that I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for this, I’m spending a fortune on litter and this is a fantastic solution
40lbs pound bag of horse bedding 6.99. 7lbs pound bag of breeze pellets is 14.99.. pretty easy to figure out which is better
I will bet though that eventually they raise the price at tractor supply.
@@Anth230 In 3 years I think the price went up by $1. Still cheap.
Where? Nowhere it’s cheap
I got it yesterday 40 lbs for $5.99
Thank you. I was buying the cheapest cat litter I could find. The dust was everywhere. I had to ask myself if these big corporations don't care if we die from using their products. Your video is very informative. I took your advice. Happy this morning, no cloud of chemicals in my face this morning.
I just wanted to pop back on here to thank you again for making this video and for creating this WONDERFUL litter box system for kitties. As you pointed out in your video, it is much less expensive and much healthier than using clay litter or the Breeze system with its original set-up and supplies, so what's not to love?! I must admit that it took awhile for my two kitties to completely transition to your system, and I almost gave up, because one of my kitties has such a hard time dealing with any type of change. But now I am SO GLAD that I stuck with it and gave them some extra time to transition, because this has got to be the world's best litter box solution! You are a genius and it's a shame you can't create your own version of a Breeze box for pine pellet litter and make some money because you truly deserve to!!!
Thank you for your sweet comments. God bless you and your kitties.
As an owner of multiple cats and concerned about their health, I found this video to be so helpful and encouraging! I have one of those Tractor Supply stores nearby and I will be purchasing those equine pellets. Cat litter is expensive and I like the fact that this system is so much more sanitary than a conventional box. Keep the videos coming! Subscribed
Brilliant idea!!! I switched to pine pellets last year and never looked back. I even bought the Breeze system to use with the pellets but hated that tray! So the Breeze box got tossed to the side. Now I have a way to use it again. Thank you!!!!
Oh my gosh I’m so excited to try this!! After two years of researching and hearing “opinions” this video has hit all the marks for me.
I lost a cat to complications from their litter and never want to go through that again with my two I have now.
Glad to hear the video was helpful.
I have spent way too much time researching litter and litter systems. This is best idea ever!!! Going to totally do this asap. Thank you so much. Wish I had found this sooner.
Wow! I have never seen so many comments on a video EVER! And so many say this is the best system they've ever used, so I am SOLD! Thanks for adding the links to buy everything easily and so you get a monetary credit too. So sad to read your comments on the plagiarism! I hope it will make you feel better that when I typed in "best cat litter set up" into the TH-cam search bar, your video came up first! Many, many thanks for your dedication and work! I can't wait to join everyone here and reap ALL of the results and rewards of your years of purrfecting the best, safest, most inexpensive little box system! You just saved me from buying an expensive automatic one! I can't wait to watch your other video on cat food! Thanks again!
I just switched myself and honestly, our kittens prefer it. We left the old litter in one of the rooms until they could get used to the new litter...and they barely used the old one for a few days now so we can officially switch for both our boxes. Its absolutely amazing
Do this. It was the best gift I have ever given myself! No litter dust! They converted right away, no lag time, just added a turd or two and three clumps, and they were off and running. I am so happy. Cost effective and better for my babies. Just follow her instructions and you will be ... and you will have happy campers! Go pellets!
I am so glad I came across your video. I've adopted your method a couple of months back and it's truly fantastic in so many levels: ease of maintenance, cost, smell, and maybe above all, no litter particles all over my bathroom and rugs. Thank you!
I watched this video in its entirety a few years ago, before I even had any cats, simply because I loved your explanation. You can tell how much experience and research went into this, for the benefit of cats owners everywhere. Now, I’ve found myself here once again, this time for 2 babies on my own. Thank you for this lovely resource! ❤
This is the best and most affordable cat litter system. Our cats started using it within a week. We left the old litter box and didn't clean it until they started using the new one. Thank you so much for the advice.
When this fine lady speaks of things harmful to cats in this video, trust me, she knows what she is talking about. Glad I found Victorian Gardens Cattery!
I'm really glad you did the research for this, everything you are talking about is really important to us too and we want only the best things for our cats to keep them healthy and safe. This has been a huge help.
Fourth cat litter box video today and by far the best! This looks so simple. Everyone else makes it complicated for no reason. Great job! Thanks!
I am using the Breeze Litter Box and truly love it! The Equine Pine Pellets are great! Thank you for the information.
My cat has been using this system since I got her, and it works wonderfully!!! No urine smell at all!!! Wonderful! Thanks so much :)
I've been using this system now for about 14 weeks and I'm so glad you posted the video. The pellets are 5.99 a 40lb bag at tractor supply and they are lasting 7 weeks. I was going through 15 lb. Bags of expensive litter every two weeks before this! My cat is possibly diabetic so he goes a lot. I'm grateful for the savings!
Hello, I've come here to this video intentionally because I wanted to say a few things. First of all thank you so much for sharing this amazing technique. I've been using it for a year now and I now I wouldn't do it any other way!
On that note I wish you (or anyone!) could design a litter box that was affordable, with no pull-out tray at the bottom and a good depth between the sifter and the bottom tray. Ive bought countless litter boxes for my spoiled babies and every time I buy one when I get frustrated because they're all basically designed the same way. Who actually wants to dump all of that litter into a strainer and have cat pee sawdust drifting in the air and floor etc. Have they not seen your technique?! Your method beats every other system out there. I don't know why they have to make things so complicated or so expensive. I have all these extra litter box trays because all the litter boxes I buy have two trays and one sifter. Wish I could at least have the option to purchase one sifter separately so I can make two litter boxes out of it instead of just wasting another bottom tray.
To anyone who may be seeing this video now adays, try this method it is by far the easiest, the best smelling and cheapest technique I've ever heard of. (except for having to purchase the damn expensive boxes and waste half of the product bc their systems suck lol)
Thank you again for sharing this technique with the world!
Please spread the word, share this video so that maybe litter box companies can adapt to create a product that actually compliments this system that works so amazingly!
Some one suggested on a reddit thread to use a bus pan with another busing pan with holes in it.
Great to C someone doing a job they R passionate about. Those cats would get excellent care given your enthusiasm.
Thanks for the post, I have seen others talk about this type of thing and had steps on how to "make one/DIY" But you have the most comprehensive video. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Your content has changes so many lives and benefited cat family's all around the world.
I will be getting a baby kitten shortly! I saw this video last year and came back to review it! Thank you so much for your expertise in this subject🥰
Your kitties are gorgeous 🌹
Hi Susan! It's been a few years but I just stopped by to thank you again for altering my life with this method! I have shared the video many times! **YOUR** video :D
Thank you Lisa!!
You did everyone a favor by spending the time to show everything within this video and with your permission I will give your link to everyone getting a cornish rex from us. I used the same litter for nearly four years but gave up due to the mess of cleaning up the sawdust. Your idea solves that problem!! Thanks Charlene High
Thanks, Charlene. I am glad you found it helpful. Please feel free to share. We all want the do everything we can and within our power to improve the lives of kittens and cats worldwide, as well as the parents who take care of these precious babies.
I had been looking for months for something that helps my cats and me. Try many things but this is the Best system Ever. I live in a studio and the non-smell is awesome!
Thank You...
Gray Anderson does it control the poop smell too?
marcuspoleern she says she scoops that out a couple times a day so I don’t imagine that has a chance to get smelly
This was truly amazing and SO informative!! I am going to start Thai process as of tomorrow. Really appreciated that you mentioned the name of the products that you used as well as where we could find them. This was just terrific. Thank you so very much!!!! I will re-post some comments once I have tried the system out for a few weeks.
I have given this video to 2 full time RVers and they thanked me several times and love the idea. Fast forward a yr later they thank me again and recommend it highly.
I purchased the Equine Pine Pellets at TSC. Breeze Kit and pads are on the way from Chewy. I even purchased the feeder bin which stores 40 lbs of pellets perfectly! While waiting I added a few cups of pellets to the old litter. She seems to like it-- so far! :-) Can't wait to transition completely to 100% pine pellets. Thank you so much for creating this method for healthier cats and humans.
Did you get the feeder bin at TSC? Just getting started in this system and looking for all the parts. Your post is 6 months old. Are you still using this system? Are you loving it?
Wendy Teague I was looking for the feeder container also, the link from the video isn't the correct one is it ?
Does it keep smell down?
The link for the storage box seems to be correct. I found an Iris 54 lb. rolling container on amazon just under $25
Just found this after asking about transitioning. Hope it went well for you I want to do it for my cat;)
Thank you for this post! I gave up having indoor cats years ago due to problems with clay litter. This video is wonderful! You solved all my problems. I especially liked the idea of the puppy pads, your box system, and keeping the litter box in the bathroom. The low cost and safety are added bonuses. I am on my way out to adopt 2 kitties right now!
Thank You!!😁😸😸😁
I’m so far behind seeing this video but I just want to say this is amazing and your awesome for providing such a great healthy and inexpensive option to us cat owners. I will be making the switch and trying your method very soon
This is such a great informative video! And those 2 kittens were so curious and adorable😻
I have been able, with your wonderful directions, to transfer my adult cat and a new little kitten to use the liter boxes just as you described. Along with the pellets, I added a little regular liter during the transition period. So, now, I have three Breeze boxes using them just the way that you directed! There is no odor except after a poop! I am so very grateful for your suggestion!
Jake Mayer woow thats amazing, i am too hoping my 7 yr old will get used to it.
Your pellet system is the best I have seen on TH-cam. Thanks for the links. Purchased whole setup and love it. So easy, cleaner, and odor free! Thanks.
Thank you so much for all the research and detail you put into this video. Extremely helpful and I'm so pleased with the new litter. Saving up for the other supplies and will use your links to purchase.
Its been working great for my 2 cats! The other 2 i took in recently also took to it with no issues. Its seriously much easier to clean the boxes this way! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I've been using this method for two years now and it's so much better than that dusty clay litter that tracks everywhere and smells up the house. I appreciate you for sharing this. You've improved a lot of people's homes!!!😄
Divine Earth Goddess yes! I recently changed over to pine pellets and found this video looking for more efficient litter scooping/cleaning methods
Now I have no litter being tracked all over my tiny one bedroom apartment and all I have are some little pellets my messy kitties like to kick out of the box on their way out
I love this Cat Litter System. I followed your instructions, set up 2 systems that are in my large bathroom. My 14 yr old male cat G-Purrs loves it and my new female kitten Onyx, a black Bombay, used it within one day and both still use it. G-Purrs had been only using piddle pads which I still allow him to use with his declining health. I've been using your Natural Litter Box System for almost a year now so I should have written sooner. Thank-you for your advice and sharing your beautiful Felines with all of us. May our Father the Lord God bless you and your family always. Our Critters love us unconditionally, so they're part of our Family by choice. Sending love and hugs to all.
Welp, 3 years late on this one but by far the best video on a pine pellet system that I have found thus far. That is counting other videos that were explaining nearly the same system.
Great job and will definitely be switching to this method not just because of everything explained in the video but also for the low to no tracking nature of it.
Thanks. I was the first with the system because I developed this system. Everyone has plagerized off my original video. Pretty sad.
Watched this video for the first time about 2 years ago. started using the system 1 year ago, and have been sharing the video and recommending it to everyone! Thank you, my life has been a breeze!
Thank you for sharing!
Great information!!!!! Nice to see what you use for your beautiful kitties. :)
Sandi Blohm I was wondering when the litter turns to dust, does it smell like urin?
Stacy Shattuck not really, smells like pine.
I have been using this system for a few months. Thank you so much for sharing it! I love that the sifting box avoids the issue of tracking sawdust. I like that pine absorbs cat urine smell so well. I also like the affordable price, & the fact that it’s the least toxic litter system I’ve found. I appreciate you making this video. I have shared your video with people who are having litter box problems.
Thank you for showing your system and knowledge to other cat guardians. I care for 7 cats and I'm going to try this out. It sounds like it's going to help me out a lot as it did you. Much appreciated!
Please see my Transition Tips located in the Description Section of this video.
I have been using the breeze box system for years and it has changed my life. We have no problems with the pellets/pads that come with it but they are EXPENSIVE and recently been out of stock everywhere. This is genius and will be switching to this. THANK YOU!
